>Incredibly badass designs
>Top speed: 30KM/h
WTF
Do all of them have 30km/h top speed?
That's because it's an e-bike, a pedal bike with a motor. It's not an electric motorcycle. Why? You don't need a license or insurance etc. It's just a standard pedal bike. Despite this, they can usually do more than double that speed. They're simply limited to comply with regulations.
In china you don't need license for thos, hence the sporty designs for a city scooter.
@@automotiveterritory Do all of them have badass designs?
No the first one was at 200kmh
If it can’t go 80 k or 50 mph it’s not a motorcycle and a waste of time.
We have to keep in mind that I featured bikes in the lower price range. Of course there are faster and more powerful bikes out there, for example Zero S, but it's going to cost over $10k.
How often do you go over 30 mph in city streets?
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews ... during my commute I see 50, 60, 70 and 80km speed limits. A limit of 50 kph would be dangerous on those roads. Not trying to pick a fight here but a street legal vehicle that can’t keep up with traffic is not worth buying or promoting it’s just a toy.
Ed S
Agreed. At the moment a 125cc bike is better value for money.
30 mph is 50km/h, so this should be enough for commuting within the city. The top speed of these bikes is limited on purpose, so the riders could get on these with a basic moped license.
20mph for $3000 I can pedal up to 15....
True, true. Can't argue with that
You could also just buy a $300 electric scooter that goes up to 15mph, and save the other $2700 lol
You can buy an electric bike who can reach 60 mph for around 2500$
I can do 25mph on my racing bike lol and faster on my electric assist bicycle lol.. I can't imagine blowing past a moterbike
It's the "coolest" bike you can drive without a driver license. The law max is 500 watts and 20mph
Releases of new electric motorcycles have become a common thing now. Here are some of the latest models that besides being new have relatively low prices. Which one do you like the most?
White ghost but can you buy i dont see it available yet
It's expected to be released soon.
Wth dude why would you ride a supersport looking bike that goes 20mph
Have you seen a supersport on this list that goes 20mph?

I see, that changes everything.
@@automotiveterritory to get laid of course. Just bring a paper bag for that chick.
If you lean your head forward you can hit 21mph
Lol. good one
I like what i see thanks for the content man. The zero fx is my favorite because of its offroad capability
You are very welcome. I would say that the Zero bike is probably my favorite model as well
these things will probably never take off in the northwestern hemisphere if the do not do something about the top-speed and range.
How much range would you need and what is the top speed that will make you comfortable?
@@automotiveterritory The top speed should be at least 130 kph
Julian Davies, most of them are intended to be ‘city bikes’, capable of handling city traffic speeds, and more than capable of handling the distances traveled by city commuters. The more expensive ones will handle commuting into or out of a city.
I'm with Theo on this one. Highway speeds are not the absolutely vital requirement for electric bikes, since many are only made for daily commute.
you'd like it if it was loud
EMFLUX.........is looks AWESOME! If they keep that price, I will surely buy one!
International availability is a big issue for any new company. But I wish these guys the best of luck and I do hope they make it, as there seems to be a lot of people, who are already interested in their bike.
I have the 2019 CSC City Slicker. It goes 50 MPH and I absolutely love it. I think some of the comments here will be less than nice but I'm having fun on it.
It's important for everyone to manage expectations electric motorcycles. Small bikes like yours could make a great alternative to public transport. Would you recommend a bike like yours to a friend?

Because he is not a big Homie. He is probably 5ft2in and maybe a buck and change in terms of weight.
How much?

This really helped me out! The gigabyke grooves go 20 mph and have a 25mile range. When the battery runs low you can pedal also. They cost about 1,500. That fly free smart and the zero fx are the two that I really want. Thank goodness there are so many options.
It's good to see somebody excited about such bikes for a change.
Just finished watching your 2018 video and found this one instead. HUGE LEAP in the electric industry. This is nice.
It's going to be exciting to see how far these go in a coupe of years, don't you think?
Your vids keep popping up as suggestions and I have loved every one.. You give all the right information and don't over explain stuff, which is great.. Excellent quality videos.. You just got a new subscriber!.. Cheers from Canada :)

Lots of highways in Texas. We need greater speeds. 70 mph minimum. I love the design of that Sur-ron White Ghost. If only it went a bit faster
The faster options right now only include Zero S and Lightning Strike.
You didn't see the EVOKE bikes here?
The use sur-ron white ghost is so so so cool!!!
The Daymak EM2 actually does 66KMH with the limiter off and with a lithium upgrade it could easily do 180km range with the right "mah" you can also change out the 500watt motor and throw on a 6000 to 8000 watt if you wanted, they're only $700.
There's also the EMMO Zone GTS almost the same look as the Daymak EM2 but with a bigger front body flare.
How much customizations like you described could possibly cost? More people should know about it.
Oh this should be at the top comments no 🧢
Check out the Savic Motorcycles. Amazing! And the Lightning Strike, of ocurse.
Will take a look at the Savic. And the strike was featured here ruclips.net/video/lrw-HIevjlE/видео.html
Early days for this industry, 10 years into the future & i`ll be a happy pensioner re-living my youth if i remember to charge it
The industry is slowly picking up and we are very likely to see better and more affordable models in the near future.
Great video
I can use one of these to drive to the weed shop everyday 🤣
Not bad. Just make sure to come back home before consuming anything ;)

This guy ☝️
I like the city slicker. Get it able to go 65mph and double the range and it would be awesome.
The price would probably double with the specs, would it still be appealing to you?
65 mph so km?
20 mph top speed is not road worth
It's a road hazard and POS
How often do you travel in the city at speeds exceeding 30mph? Also there are much faster bikes on this list, have you considered them?
@@automotiveterritory
Answer every day that I ride.
And based on the prices, I can get a 600 Vulcan that has more range and is faster than any of these toys.
Maybe when they figure out how to to connect the electric motor to an actual transmission, they'll get the same speed and range of a standard gasoline bike.
Maybe when Kawasaki/Suzuki/Yamaha purchase the electric motor and battery tech and mate it to one of their chassis & transmission.
@@automotiveterritory every single day because I don't live in a congested, poorly designed, large city.
@@automotiveterritory I never go under 45 unless in a parking lot or neighborhood
The white ghost headlight is hilarious. It looks like =O
The Tao Leo. It looks like the daymak em2 but it goes 45 miles per charge and top speed is 50mph. I own the 72v 40ah version. 3000w motor. 100a controller. I've modded in a j1772 level 2 charge port. Payed $5600 new. I love it!!
Nice suggestion, I will check it out
Love it. Can't meet my needs(yet) but I'm still watching. Battery technology is growing by leaps and bounds. I don't think it will be all that long before an adaquet battery will come along. Meanwhile I'll just have to live with my stinky noisy gasoline bike.
Would you rather have a battery that lasts longer or one that charges faster?
@@automotiveterritory I'd have to go with run time. If the battery pack is removable you could run one while the others recharge. (My phone has a removable battery and I carry several charged batteries all the time.)
An average phone lasts for less than a day. Do you imagine how large the battery pack of a motorcycle is? It don't see a scenario when it can be removable. Unless there will be several battery modules that could be extracted and be taken for charging.
When will White Ghost be released in 2019?
It should be available on domestic market already. As for the international sales, it's hard to find any information right now.
@@automotiveterritory "domestic" meaning what? Which country?
interesting! I like it, and I live in the north east U.S.!
Glad you liked the video! Hope many of these bikes will be sold close to you soon
Curtis Marean you did hear what the topspeed was right?? How long to recharge again??? Bicycles go faster then most of those without all the plastic and wiring and battery’s and... you know planet devouring stuff... don’t accept/support crappy Ideas!! We can do way better!
What motorcycle was the one from the intro on the video? The one painted camo driving through a warehouse?
List of all bikes that were shown here could be found in the description.
Now certainly seems like the time when e-motorbikes are starting to address the mass market. The closest yet to matching product to market would have to be Zero. A lot of the bikes shown here are styled on the current look of conventional sports ICE bikes. I thing the next 18 months will prove the market demand for e-motorcycles made with the standard seat posture can go 100 miles / 160 kms on a single charge has LED lights (Zeros don’t yet!) and has a base price point around $4500 and with extras up to $6000 (£5000 or €5500). Meanwhile I’ll wait and keep watching - as I continue to get about town on my 2000watt hub motor e-mountain-bike - top speed 36 mph range 10 to 16 miles - cost 3 years ago £1500.
I own two...paid $1800 for my first, $4000 for my second. Bike 1 top speed 50kmph second bike top speed 105kmph I weigh 180lb. Both are VERY FUN to ride. Dont have one? Get ine!
May I ask what models are those?
I am interested in purchasing the Super Soco TC Max. I am in NY City. How do I proceed to obtain the bike? Is it available with spoked wheels instead of alloy?
There is a list of official websites in the description. Information about local availability could be obtained there.
There’s also the Rieju Nuuk that could make this list.
Though I guess not yet available in the US
As far as I remember it's marketed as a scooter or a moped. It have featured it in one of my previous videos.
Electricity is the future, and the future is now. Thanks for the vid.
You are very welcome! Have any of these bikes got on your shopping list?
I'm not thinking of buying right now, however when I will it will definitely be something electric. Cheers
Best of luck with the purchase!
The "future" as forced upon everybody else by the "elite" and their government lap dogs. Do you think that all these wastes of oxygen will get rid of all their supercars like McLarens and Ferraris, etc, for plug in you cars? Even Teslas are too expensive for most of the public to buy.
Mad Daymak. I can cycle more than 20 mph
It's done to make this bike fit with certain regulations. As for being able to continuously cycle at 20mph speed, great job!
That 2k emotorcyxle , you can get an ebike, that goes 30mhp less charge time
The 500Watt bikes are exactly what I'm looking for in terms of styling but I need something that can do at least 85 mph for at least 60 miles preferably for less than 3,000.
I'm afraid electric bikes aren't there yet. The closest to your specifications are Zero motorcycles, but they start at $7,000
@@automotiveterritory the RV400 is pretty close but It doesn't look like it's going to be available in America :(
First one best looking and pretty fast
does the Super Soco ship to the United States (HAWAII)
You will have to verify with the manufacturer. The links to the websites are in the description
Why not use the gear box like the gas version? This doesn't make sense. Would it be easier on the motor?

There is Indonesian Matic electric motorcycles named Gesit, it had top speed up to 70km/hr. Range 60km, and just 2000$. u can buy more Battery to get 30km range just for 300$ each.
I haven't encountered this model yet. I'll take a look for sure.
Really the cost of Emflux Bike is 7.700?
It's the expected price on their local market. It's still to be determined whether the bike will be entering international markets. But at this price point they should go for it.
@@automotiveterritory Hells yeah. If the specs of 200km range and top speed of 200km/h. $7700 is a very, very good deal. The comparative Zero bikes are more in the $15-20k range
Maybe less than 7k I'm from India
What are the latest lo Al news about the Emflux?
I want a Daymak rogue but I want it to at least get to 80mph
Unfortunately they had to limit the speed and specifications of this particular bike.
If the EMflux does what is claimed and is built well it is THE breakthrough electric bike as far as I am concerned. For that price it is almost too good to be true compared to the others. So let's see. Will it loose half it's power and range for the basic version?
It's hard to tell at the moment. As of right now, it looks very promising. But we could only see the full picture once it fully hits the market.
Emlux had said that they'll produce only limited bikes
I need a mx one. These golf courses have been screaming my name. I can hit them at night and no one hear me.
THE FIRST ONE IS DOPE BUT WHAT IS WITH THE LIMITATION OF SPEED ON NEARLY ALL OF THESE BIKES? ARE THERE ANY ELECTRIC BIKES THAT CAN BE TWEAKED? HOPEFULLY THE EASTERN COUNTRIES WILL MAKE THESE THINGS MORE POPULAR AND DRIVE DOWN THE PRICE WITH GOOD COMPETITION CUZ I WOULD REALLY LIKE AN E CYCLE THAT HITS ATLEAST 80-85 MPH WITH A GOOD PRICE TAG LIKE 4-$5000
Most of the affordable models come from Eastern countries already.
Why does the slicker look a lot like the grom ?
It was either inspired by Grom or was purposefully made to look like this in order to lure some of the grom crowd away.
good show
Glad you liked it! What do you think about the state of the electric motorcycles industry?
Price and range are the main concerns for me. Top speed doesn't have to be massive- I don't want to exceed the speed limit on a bike. If it maxes out at 65 or 70 I'm good, I just want to be able to cruise comfortably at 45 or 55 most of the time while having the capability to go a little faster if need be. The range needs to be over 100 miles for sure, 200 would be the long term goal, and the price needs to be less than 10k in order to interest me. I could go with less speed and range up to a point if the price is more like 5k. If you look at something like the Harley electric bike, that is a well put together machine that already has the type of performance I'm looking for- but I won't spend 30k on it. No way. It's coming along though, and at some point there's going to be a breakthrough model that performs well and is priced within the range that I'm willing to pay.
The industry is not there yet but it is evolving fast. Hopefully that soon we will get more options, better performance and competitive prices.
Wake me up when the standard swappable battery motorcycles arrive 😴🛌
I can only think of two benefits of having this: charging at home or having a set of batteries and changing between charged and empty ones. Is it something that you are expecting from electric motorcycles?
@@automotiveterritory I mainly want a "standard" battery type so I can find a cheap replacement battery in 10 years without having to worry if the company will still in business. Do I want a highway speed motorcycle that uses swappable batteries? Sure. It would be great to pull up to a store, swap batteries, and keep going for long cross country road trips, but it's not my main concern. That's years down the road.
Manufacturers don't like standardization and unfortunately it hurts consumers the most. I do have to agree with you on this one - the industry still has a long way to go but we all have to give them credit for reaching this level of development already. Newer bikes are going to surprise us more and more in the nearest future.
My idea of commuting and your idea of commuting are 2 different things I need a range of minimum 80 miles at 60 mph for it to be of any practicality to me I might had well stick with gas power, cant stop half way to work and wait 30 minutes to get half a charge assuming I find a power source.....
These are intended for city commuting. How often do you hit 60mph within the urban area?
Nice selection of bikes. What happens to all those batteries once there dead....land fill ?
All batteries have to be recycled, as far as I'm concerned it applies not only to batteries used in EVs.
I wonder how much it would cost if I was to just take this old blown up GSXR and put a fork truck motor on it with a couple deep cycle dry cell marine batteries? The Yale fork truck weighs 5000 lbs compared to a 600 lb GSXR and the fork truck would go 20 mph forward and reverse. You could do a lot with gearing the chain and sprockets.
And I may be wrong about the GSXR weight. It may be lighter than 600 lbs. But batteries aren't usually light weight.
uuuh the emflux one looks hot!!
Result of rising India under the guidance of Narendra Modi.
@@rakeshbiswas1501 modi has nothing to do with emflux. This bike is designed by skilled professionals and talented minds of few Bangaluru youths
Do you really need dual discs up front for 20mph top speed?
Good point. Should have saved up on the discs and installed a bigger battery ;)
NICE MODAL
Which one did you happen to like the most?
When I saw the specs for the DayMak EM2 I thought that must be a misprint. 20mph top speed and a range of 37 miles, neither of which would encourage sales. At least it tries to look the part.
It's not a misprint. Such specifications were introduced for a reason.
@@automotiveterritory And that reason would be ?
Very short city commute. Though, I dont blame people who find these specs ridiculous. They are
The best are: super soco tc max, emflux and evoke
Nice choices!
china VOGE manufactures the white ghost, I couldnt find much on it under Sur-ron
As far as I remember they had some sort of a deal regarding this model.
3 to 5 k is a good price range for 50 miles, 50 mph top speed for city commuters. Some bikes shown do meet my needs and look interesting 😉
These bikes are nice for city riding. This is the reality that we have to face. Those, who need more range should look into more expensive bikes like those by Zero or Lightning.
With shipping these are gonna be way more
Destination fees are never included in the price of the vehicle, are they?
@@automotiveterritory Of course not but at the end of the day if you're in America better off just buying a bike here would be cheaper but if some these companies started making bikes over here I would definitely be into supporting them
Sure. If you are in America you have access to some of the most advanced electric motorcycles.
Dymak Rouge seems like a good buy.
For short city commuters probably.
Man these things will leave you stranded in Texas but with in walking distance:)
As of today, electric vehicles are more suitable for city riding. And they are actually amazing if you don't need to take very long trips.
@@automotiveterritory so they are mopeds?
I believe a moped is a motorcycle that has pedals, and if I'm not mistaken these bikes, don't have them. Underpowered? Yes, but motorcycles nonetheless
@@automotiveterritory not all mopeds have pedals. I had a Yamaha that didn't.

Glad you liked them. Check out more videos about electric bikes on my channel
the conversion kits for older small bikes are a good idea the people that need these
live in places where the public transportation is poor and so are they...50 mph and range of 40
miles and charge times with short charge times to get it charged if you live some where they have rolling black outs
It's a great idea. Hopefully someone can some up with a universal conversion kit.

How would you change from torque into velocity to increase range.
I think the range and speed are still 20 to 50% less than they need to be for American riders, as our distances traveled and speed we travel require 80mph for highways and 55mph townish style driving.
True. Affordable electric models will be there soon.
For now I recommend you watching a video about impressive electric superbikes. Dont mind the prices, though ;)

Here is a link
Whats a Eliecwic motorcycle? I sure as heck dont want them to take over
They are very likely to take over in the future though.
These are beautiful motorcycles, yet for gas engine have less torque then range how can we take the access torque of electric motor into range.
Electric motors do offer lots of torque right away but the range only depends on the size of the battery. Large batteries make such bikes too expensive or too heavy.
@@automotiveterritory do any of the motorcycles use a planetary gearing or only direct drive.
@@automotiveterritory plus any manufactures leaning to capacitor storage? I was hoping C-Motives work would contributed to this line of industry, yet haven't seen them reach out to this sector of products. I thankyou for responding to my questions. I would peak at Shezen electrostatic motors if not C-Motives. I would call these motors e field motors as it follows the principles of compacitance.
In most cases they are direct drive bikes.
Range needs to be 200km minimum for my daily commute. I wish they make a bike more motor efficient one day
These electric motors are getting pretty close to 100% efficiency. We just need bigger, lighter and cheaper batteries :)
@@automotiveterritory I beg to differ, days motors still run hot and continuously need cooling. This is big waste of energy gone into heat. There is a lot of confusion about motors being up to 98% efficient, this is so wrong
@Greg stafford emflux gets upto 200kmph easily
Still way to expensive for a short distance electric snail. They need to cruise at 55mph with at least a 200 mile range. Also Ro-Bo voice sucks commode water.
When talking about technology we should always manage our expectations. Expecting a bike to go over 200 miles on a charge is, while still keeping it in the affordable price range is close to impossible. These are battery operated vehicles, just like our cell phones and laptops. If you get more range, you also get a heavier vehicle with a higher price.
There are electric motorcycles that will do what you’re asking for, but they’re not budget models. (Look at the top end Zero bikes, for example.)
Pricing is better however some lacked the power and speed, 20mph is not impressive, those are electric scooter speeds. Bikes like the ones we just saw should do a minimum of 55mph you know what it don't matter I'll modify mine to reach those speeds.
5:02 🤭🤮
Lightning motorcycles new 2019 models Strike standard version seems to be the best bang for the buck and is a real highway capable motorcycle with acceptable range and top speed compared to the toys in this list.

The price that you shared is for LS-218. Lightning have recently revealed a new model that is in the under $20k category.
I'll just get a gas motorcycle, just refuel and go. Better mileage too.
Excuse me, how could it have a better mileage if electric motorcycles don't consume gas at all?
I will take a look at the "Mototec".. it is a bike brand, right?
@@automotiveterritory mileage: the aggregate number of miles traveled over in a given time.
I believe prices will drop much lower due to the demand of no emissions
How much do you think these should cost after the long awaited drop?
It seems to me that ev should be able to produce speeds in excess of 100mph. I also think that they are too small. They need one designed for larger people with longer battery life.
The lack of range and speed on most electric bikes soI don't see them gaining wide success. Not to mention no one wants to wait an hour to charge up.
There are electric motorcycles that don't lack neither in the speed, nor the range department but they are not affordable, so I didn't mention them here. As for the affordable options, they can make amazing city commuters and could be charged whenever you are not using them.
A e-bike (bicycle) may be a much better value. You can more range at a cheaper price. You can ride street or bike path. No registration fee. No insurance. No license or license plates. No helmet, you lock it to a bike rack. And you can get away with things on a bicycle (legally) that you can not on motorcycle. Most inexpensive e motorcycles don't go fast
enough to travel on highways anyway.
Bicycles are limited to 500W of power, otherwise you'd need to get it registered.
@@automotiveterritory people in US do DIY 750W, 1000W, 1500W ebikes all the time.
in AMERICA WERE IS PLACES IN =CLUDE YOUR HOME YOUR CHARGE THE BATERY CHARGER IN HOME OR OUTSDIE FOR EVERY BODY? STATIONS FOR CHARGE FAST TO STOP TELL ME? OR HAVE OWN CHARGER SOLAR BATERY CHARGER?
The charging infrastructure is being developed quite rapidly.
A trike could hold a larger battery and motor, might be a better platform
Yes, you are making a good point. Do you think that motorcycles need larger batteries for more charge? Why not small, light batteries and fast charging option?
@@automotiveterritory They need more range
Range: 100km. Top speed: 80km/h. Those parameters would make the ideal electric motorcycle to me
How much do you think a machine with such specifications should go for?
there is only a dozen good E-motorcycles and sad to say he onlye showed like 2 decent ones on here, just youtube E-motor Cycle Super bikes you will find the good ones on here ...they blow away normal ones in everything speed no need for fuel.....you can find the races also from the battery ones agains the gas ones.
Appreciate the suggestion. Will check it out
Here at Boom Moto we are a competitive bike at under 10k.
Already available for purchase?
@@automotiveterritory End of April
Thanks for the info, I will be following the news
Why buy this bikes when a Yamaha 115hp SXR900 sells for $9000 and can be refilled in 30 seconds for $15 after a 200 mile ride.
They might drop maybe 100-250$
They will always come up with something better I paid a Jetson
199$ they cost 3-400$ they ok
But looking for always better on price drops
How much do you think they should cost to be more attractive to consumers?
I just have to be honest about this. If I can't keep up with interstate traffic speeds then I'm not interested in one. also I would rather sacrifice cargo room for more batteries to give me more range.
These are created to be mainly used as city commuters.
Not Yet... a bicycle out performs All of these for hp/ cost
I'd love to own a bicycle like that. Can you please name the model?

Australia: We are an affluent western country with an entrenched urban motorcycle culture. Shut up and take our money
Manufacturers, importers and retailers: *blank stare*
The supply doesn't meet the Australian demand? Huh?
Automotive Territory: Trending News & Car Reviews that is correct. They don't even bother with the market
Sad story. I hear the prices are higher as well.
Looking at the reviews and comments I'm going have to agree the people saying these bikes worthless. And in terms of the speed limit in the city here in USA, we all dam well know people don't follow the speed sign unless there cop there. A bike that do 65 minimal for top speed is considered road worthy transportation in America if it can handle the weight of the rider and small luggage strapped on his/her/ other 29 genders.
These are city commuters, hence the 28mph top speed limit on many of these.
Super Soco TC Max all the way.
It's a nice choice.
